...firms, which in 1984 produced 1.5 billion tickets for games in eleven states, control 70% of the instant-win lottery business in the U.S. Scientific Games' lottery revenues rocketed from $100,000 in 1973 to $30 million in 1983. Dittler Bros., a wholly owned subsidiary of Southam, a Canadian newspaper group, does not publicly report sales or earnings...
Long the fat matron of Montreal's once powerful English-speaking minority, the Star consistently outsold its morning rival, the Gazette (circ. 168,000), which was founded in 1778 and is owned by the Southam chain (the Ottawa Citizen and 13 other Canadian dailies). But over the past two decades, Toronto has gradually displaced Montreal as the nation's leading city. English-speaking Montrealers began moving out in even larger numbers after René Lévesque's secession-minded Parti Québecois won control of Quebec in 1976. For a while, the Star weathered that...
Last week the Sloan-Kettering researchers, headed by Dr. Chester M. Southam, announced the answer. With the cooperation of Dr. Emanuel E. Mandel at Brooklyn's Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital, cancer cells were injected under the skin of 19 patients severely ill from non-cancer diseases. The cancer cells did not "take" in any of these non-cancer patients (though four have since died, and one of them had an unrelated, hitherto undetected cancer of the bladder). Immunity to cancer is evidently a universal phenomenon, and it is lost only in the special circumstances, still not understood, in which...
...Ohio Penitentiary volunteers (TIME, Feb. 25) who had already sloughed off one injection of cancer cells threw off a second injection of the same kind of cells still more rapidly, reported Dr. Chester Southam. Evidently their original immunity had been increased by the first exposure. When they got a third injection of cells of a different type, they rejected it, but not so fast as the second, showing that the buildup of immunity was strongest against the type of cells first used...
...Southam inserted the point of the needle alongside the tattoo mark and worked it up the arm for an inch and a half, just under the skin. A push on the plunger injected half the shot (three to five million cells) into the volunteer's arm. Dr. Southam pulled out the needle, turned it around and repeated the process lower down the arm. (Some volunteers received implants of tissue fragments of other human cancer strains, grown in animals and chick embryos...
